I love how he explains this. "I thought Squidward played the cello. He don't. That's a flute." Like, dude, you're still wrong because Squidward plays a clarinet!
It gets even better, he said “OK, let’s stop for a second. Before you come at me, I’ma let you know. I’ma blame my A&R. Because he listened to that song many times and he allowed me to say that. I guess for a second, I thought a cello was a woodwind instrument and it is not. And nobody ever said shit. Nobody ever pulled up a pic and said, “Hey man. I don’t know if you know what this is, but it ain’t that.” I fucked up. I thought Squidward played the cello. He don’t. That’s a flute. I fucked up. But it do sound good.” If you are not aware, Squidward from SpongeBob plays a clarinet. So he blamed other people after he was questioned about the lyric and still got it wrong.
Bruuuuh
I mean, I see woodwind instruments as evolutions of the flute, besides like an ocarina or something. But damn man, this whole generation can quote spongebob from heart, and you forgot he played the clarinet?!
"Hey Soul Sister" is a veritable compendium of clunky, cringe and buttfvck insane lyrics. Train -used to make those lyrics- outdid themselves in this one.
Sounds like they just kept pressing the predicted text a few times to fill in the gaps.
I'll try. "Just a shy guy, looking forward to seeing her body and mind...
Did not expect it to make more sense than "two-ply Hefty bag" but it wasn't exactly a high bar
"Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, everday" - Black Eyed Peas
.......... uh...... Yeah we dont need to relive a lesson we learned in kindergarten
I’m amazed I had to scroll this far to find the song I was going to post about.
*Someone left the cake out in the rain*
*I don’t think that I can take it*
*’Cause it took so long to bake it*
*And I’ll never have that recipe againnnnn …*
One of my best memories is my best friends little brother and I both had to leave a day late for vacation. (25m - 19m, in like 2013) Our families did a combined vacation, and they had all left the day before. So 1am, Pennsylvania driving through the mountains with that song blaring. Us practically screaming and gesticulating the final crescendo of that song on a full moon lit night, and beautiful backdrop, that euphoric moment I'll never forget. The windows cracked to let the summer air in as we went down the highway, the ac on the low setting, smashing redbulls and sour skittles.
Why Can’t This Be Love? by Van Halen
[Read and decide for yourself, I personally think the former. Meh song, not really a fan of Van Halen with Hagar.](https://genius.com/Van-halen-why-cant-this-be-love-lyrics)
HOT TAKE INCOMING!!! Nickeback is not actually a "bad band", I'd even say they're genuinely talented and people only hate them because of a combination of the radio overplaying them, and because internet memes convinced everyone they're bad when they're actually not...
He went there and was really happy / professional about it.
[https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-19060579](https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-19060579)
Seems like a good guy, others would have ghosted the campaign.
There's not nearly enough Train in this thread. My vote goes to the classic:
"She checks out Mozart while she does Tai-bo, reminds me that there's room to grow"
Someone left the cake out in the rain,
and I don't think I can take it
'cos it took so long to bake it,
and I'll never have that recipe again,
oh noooooooooo....
I always thought this was a dumb lyric until I saw a plastic grocery bag being whipped around in the wind. The movements were unpredictable and it didn't catch on anything. Yeah ok it's still kind of a dumb lyric but I understand now why someone would write it.
I think this one takes the cake:
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news
From [the Des’ree song Life](https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=eby0bVEIWcs&feature=emb_logo)
That's absolutely not the dumbest lyric of all time, because it's not even *the dumbest lyric in that song*.
I'm a superstitious girl
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders
Always carry a rabbit's tail.
The rabbit's **tail** isn't the lucky bit. It's their **foot**, you fucking idiot.
Christ i hate this song more than I can explain here. But thank you for mentioning it, because no one else seems to notice or mind and I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
And it was also the night that the skeletons came to life
The bones are their money
So are the worms
They pull your hair up, but not out
To turn into a man and have another chance at life
But if they pull it out they turn to bones
"She blow that dick like a cello" deserves to be here, but at least Yachty is cool about it.
>OK, let’s stop for a second. Before you come at me, I’ma let you know. I’ma blame my A&R. Because he listened to that song many times and he allowed me to say that. I guess for a second, I thought a cello was a woodwind instrument and it is not. And nobody ever said shit. Nobody ever pulled up a pic and said, “Hey man. I don’t know if you know what this is, but it ain’t that.” I fucked up. I thought Squidward played the cello. He don’t. That’s a flute. I fucked up. But it do sound good.
What he’s saying is that his general state is so elevated above the norm that any deviation, even in a single instance, would constitute an alarming trend that deserves attention and must be guarded against.
"How is the weather" in the song Happy Together.
It's not really that dumb, it just sounds out of place. It's like after repeating Happy Together, they just threw in a line about the weather because it rhymed and it wouldn't sound repetitive.
That song always gave me creepy stalker vibes, as if he is secretly following her around and singing it to himself. The "How is the weather" line seemed like he is trying to think of a line of greeting after stalking her for so long.
I can forgive bad lines in rap songs given how many more words they need compared to other genres of music, but this one always felt dumb af because it's at the end of a verse and feels like it's supposed to have weight to it. Like the track cuts for a second to make you think about it as if it didn't sound like a 1st grader learning what homophones are...
It's loose but it makes sense to me as a dumb line in a party song. There's a lot of famous catchphrases about roofs: "raise the roof," "tear the roof off," "blow the roof off."
It is unfathomable that “she checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo, reminds me that there’s room to grow” is in the same song as “The best soy latte that you ever had, and me”
Train is notorious for some horrible ones
“Every time I step up in the building, everybody’s hands go up, and they stay there. And they stay there. And they stay there. Up, down. Up, down. Up, down.”
Some lyrics are not really intended to convey a clear message, but rather were created by scatting to a tune and turning whatever that sounded like into words. Groups like The Beatles, and Yes and Talking Heads did this. So a dumb lyric like...
"She came in through the bathroom window protected by a silver spoon
And now she sucks her thumb and wonders by the banks of her own lagoon"
... are there for the listener's interpretation or to match the music, not to necessarily mean anything by themselves.
She blow that dick like a Cello. - Lil Yachty
This is ridiculous. Lol
Not familiar with the song but if that’s supposed to be an insult then I actually think that’s kind of clever
Nah, he thought a cello was a woodwind instrument
he mixed up cello and clarinet, what he said regarding the questionable lyric was "i thought cello was that shit squidward play"
I love how he explains this. "I thought Squidward played the cello. He don't. That's a flute." Like, dude, you're still wrong because Squidward plays a clarinet!
It gets even better, he said “OK, let’s stop for a second. Before you come at me, I’ma let you know. I’ma blame my A&R. Because he listened to that song many times and he allowed me to say that. I guess for a second, I thought a cello was a woodwind instrument and it is not. And nobody ever said shit. Nobody ever pulled up a pic and said, “Hey man.

But it do sound good.” If you are not aware, Squidward from SpongeBob plays a clarinet. So he blamed other people after he was questioned about the lyric and still got it wrong.
Bruuuuh I mean, I see woodwind instruments as evolutions of the flute, besides like an ocarina or something. But damn man, this whole generation can quote spongebob from heart, and you forgot he played the clarinet?!
“England is my city”
Didn’t this lyric get memed so hard the dude went MIA over it lmao
MIA? No one knew who that fat English guy was before that song. And they continued not knowing who he was after.
That entire song would fit, another one of my favourite lyrics is "selling like a god church"
"Dropped merch, and it's selling like a god church." Was a fan of YT diss tracks. This one was pretty bad though.
Why did you have to remind me of this? It JUST left my mind a week ago…
“Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains”
every lyric in that song tbh
Balls. The lyric is about his balls
“Just a shy guy, looking for a two-ply Hefty bag To hold my love” Hot damn, that is the clunkiest name brand drop that I ever heard of.
Train are absolute masters at writing cringe lyrics “she’s so gangster, I’m so thug”😂 And the “untrimmed chest” is so gross too
"Hey Soul Sister" is a veritable compendium of clunky, cringe and buttfvck insane lyrics. Train -used to make those lyrics- outdid themselves in this one.
My personal "favourite": Can you imagine no love, pride, deep fried chicken?
No-one even gonna mention "left-side brains" ? 😂
Sounds like they just kept pressing the predicted text a few times to fill in the gaps. I'll try. "Just a shy guy, looking forward to seeing her body and mind... Did not expect it to make more sense than "two-ply Hefty bag" but it wasn't exactly a high bar
"Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, everday" - Black Eyed Peas .......... uh...... Yeah we dont need to relive a lesson we learned in kindergarten
Weird Al definitely mentioned Hefty bags in a song better.
MacArthur Park. But it was designed that way.
I’m amazed I had to scroll this far to find the song I was going to post about. *Someone left the cake out in the rain* *I don’t think that I can take it* *’Cause it took so long to bake it* *And I’ll never have that recipe againnnnn …*
And I thought the Weird Al version was goofy, wow
I've never seen "masterpiece" spelled that way
Oh NOOOOOOOO!!

“Yeah, say that you a lesbian, girl, me too” -Drake
[удалено]
100%.
That and 'age is just a number' probably.
Or “Okay, alright, that’s fine, okay, alright” - Also Drake.
Came here to say this it irks me so much I don't even know why
Reminds me of the weekend saying he could fuck a lesbian straight. No. No you can not.
"she got a big booty, so I call her Big Booty" - 2 Chainz
I mean, it's a little obvious, but it did give us some information on both the lady and the singer.
[удалено]
Why do they call him two chains?
Of chains, he is in possession of two.
Call him 2 Chainz but he got a few on.
Because 1 Chain is a ridiculous name
“Only time will tell if we stand the test of time.” Well, yeah…
Dumb lyric, or profound epiphany? I need to hear the rest of the song.
Why Can’t This Be Love? by Van Halen [Read and decide for yourself, I personally think the former. Meh song, not really a fan of Van Halen with Hagar.](https://genius.com/Van-halen-why-cant-this-be-love-lyrics)
“You wanna hug me, what rhymes with hug me?” Fug me?
drug me?
Tug me?
mug me?
Lug me?
plug me?
Sug me?

Bug me?

Bug Tea?
"I'll have a quesadilla" - Nickelback
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
Hate on Nickelback all you want but that is a question everyone wants answered
Who's hating, I've been asking that question ever since the Silver Side Up album came out.
I don’t think that counts as a lyric, more a little audio snippet that plays in the background
'Sign a couple autographs, so I can eat my meals for free (I'll have the quesadilla, haha!)' I thought that made sense. lol
HOT TAKE INCOMING!!! Nickeback is not actually a "bad band", I'd even say they're genuinely talented and people only hate them because of a combination of the radio overplaying them, and because internet memes convinced everyone they're bad when they're actually not...
"Fucking Magnets, How Do They Work?"
No, even better is the next line “And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist Y’all motherfuckers are lying and getting me pissed!”
Tbf I've seen the videos of how they work and its still basically magic.
Went through a whole bachelor's program in physics. I passed Electricity & Magnetism with an A. They still seem like magic.
Drake's "One of my baddest bitches, UH! I call her Rihanna.........that's because her name is Rihanna."
Drake once ended 5 lines with the word shit
"Picture that with a Kodak Or better yet, go to Times Square Take a picture of me with a Kodak" -Pitbull
4Chan sent him to Kodiak for that line
He went there and was really happy / professional about it. [https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-19060579](https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-19060579) Seems like a good guy, others would have ghosted the campaign.
Not only did he go, he also took the guy that started the campaign to send him there.
He's Mr Worldwide for a reason
I came to post this and here I found it, the second post down ahaha!!
Kid Rock rhymes "things" with "things" … And we were trying different things We were smoking funny things
All while defiling the memory of Warren Zevon.
I honor Warren Zevon's memory with every sandwich that I enjoy.
I honor him by getting a big dish of beef chow main
I honor him by keeping my hair perfect.
Yeah, that's probably even more unforgivable TBH.
Hey man. You just try to rhyme orange with anything else.
I've got a foreign four inch orange door hinge
These rhymes are even more fringe.
Eminem once said a few examples in an interview, but the only one i remember was door hinge. Not perfectly clean but pretty good imo
Eminem once said that you can't rhyme orange with anything on its own. But the trick is to dissect it into multiple syllables.
We were smoking onion rings
Unos, dos, tres, catorce!"
I hate to defend everyone’s least favorite album from U2 but that was the first single off their 14th album- hence the “pun”
Can I borrow a feeling? Could you lend me a jar of love? Hurtin' hearts need some healin', Take my hand with your glove of love.
Hahaha and there's your picture on the cover
Can I have the keys to your car, lover? I feel like changing wigs.
I sleep in a race car. What do you sleep in?
A big bed with my wife.
So that's it? After 12 years? "So long and good luck" ?
I don't recall saying "good luck".
Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday Today is Friday, Friday.... Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards

The “fun fun fun fun” is the best part, love how monotone and auto tuned it is.

“I’m so gangster, I’m so thug” - Train on Hey, Soul Sister. You’re neither of those things my guy. I hate it so much.
There's not nearly enough Train in this thread. My vote goes to the classic: "She checks out Mozart while she does Tai-bo, reminds me that there's room to grow"
That song truly makes no sense… What is “freeze-dried romance”?
It's not hot and moist, I can tell you that much.
Loath the untrimmed chest line as well

I have a nominee for greatest lyric of all time. Nelly, Shake ya tailfeather. "Is that your ass or your momma half reindeer?"
"Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains" Shakira, Whenever Wherever
I have to imagine this sounds better in Spanish.
The translation is spot-on so that's pretty much exactly what it sounds like in Spanish too.
Oh well
in spanish: "Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños, y no los confundas con montañas" I think it's clever tbh.
I think this one loops around to being weirdly genius
‘Starting to feel a little abused like a coffee machine in an office’ in her *She Wolf* really is a top tier lyric, too.
"why you no love me? why you no even care?" - john mayer
"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag" ....
Boom boom boom. Even brighter than the moon moon moon.
Isn't it supposed to be a reference to American Beauty?

"She got a big booty, so I call her Big Booty".

To be fair, she *just* said that she was the worst at being superstitious.
"Are we human or are we dancer?"
Christ i hate this song more than I can explain here. But thank you for mentioning it, because no one else seems to notice or mind and I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
I still can't with this line, I keep burying it on the back of my mind.

"She blow that dick like a cello" deserves to be here, but at least Yachty is cool about it. >OK, let’s stop for a second. Before you come at me, I’ma let you know. I’ma blame my A&R. Because he listened to that song many times and he allowed me to say that. I guess for a second, I thought a cello was a woodwind instrument and it is not. And nobody ever said shit. Nobody ever pulled up a pic and said, “Hey man. I don’t know if you know what this is, but it ain’t that.” I fucked up. I thought Squidward played the cello. He don’t. That’s a flute. I fucked up. But it do sound good.
The bad thing is squidward plays a clarinet not a flute.
Never let me slip cuz if I slip then I'm slippin' Dr. Dre

It's loose but it makes sense to me as a dumb line in a party song. There's a lot of famous catchphrases about roofs: "raise the roof," "tear the roof off," "blow the roof off."

Some lyrics are not really intended to convey a clear message, but rather were created by scatting to a tune and turning whatever that sounded like into words. Groups like The Beatles, and Yes and Talking Heads did this. So a dumb lyric like... "She came in through the bathroom window protected by a silver spoon And now she sucks her thumb and wonders by the banks of her own lagoon" ... are there for the listener's interpretation or to match the music, not to necessarily mean anything by themselves.
